Praise for Publish and Be Murdered... "If you have yet to make the acquaintance of Baroness Jack Troutbeck, run, don't walk to the nearest bookstore and order yourself a copy of this book." -Dana Stabenow, Edgar-winning author of the Kate Shugak mysteries British satirist Ruth Dudley Edwards has made a habit of skewering her nation's establishment with the misadventures of civil servant Robert Amiss and the keen deductions of his sleuthing partner, the irrepressible and irreverent Baroness "Jack" Troutbeck. Now she takes on the world of magazine publishing, a place where upholding traditions can be fatal. The Wrangler is a revered and financially troubled political mag. Amiss is summoned to sort out the problems that threaten its existence: a hemorrhaging cash flow, the succession plans of its noble patron, a takeover bid from a strong-minded Australian woman, antiquated procedures, preservation of an historic London townhouse as company headquarters...and the inevitable little murder. Long mired in inertia, Amiss must break out of the civil service mentality to save The Wrangler, sort out his own emotional life, and, while he's at it, solve that murder.... Ruth Dudley Edwards was born and brought up in Dublin, studied at University College Dublin and Cambridge University, and now lives in London. A historian and prize-winning biographer, Ruth has written seriously and/or frivolously for almost every national newspaper in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom since 1993 and appears frequently on radio and television in the UK. She has been shortlisted for the John Creasey Award for the best first novel and won the Last Laugh award in 2008 for Murdering Americans. www.ruthdudleyedwards.co.uk
